With all the recent At Ease updates made available, which should I apply to my At Ease environment?

At Ease 3.0 was released in summer of 1995 as both a workgroups and basic product. A few issues were reported by schools using the 3.0 workgroups product, and 3.0.1 was released late in 1995 to fix these issues and to increase performance. There was no concurrent release of the basic product to version 3.0.1 since the majority issues were network or workgroups related.

In early 1996, a security issue that existed in workgroups version 3.0 and 3.0.1 was found to cause an issue on certain IDE disk drives that required an immediate fix. Additionally, an incompatibility with Open Transport (shipped in System 7.5.3) caused issues with At Ease 3.0.x on some newer computers. Version 3.0.2 workgroups was created to fix these issues.

At Ease 3.0.3 is primarily a recompile of the current At Ease workgroups 3.0.2 sources, along with a small change to the basic admin application, At Ease Setup.

The At Ease 3 CDROM Prefs Patch fixes an issue discovered shortly after version 3.0.3 was released.

The following table summarizes how to get to the best update level.
